Today marks the return of BBC’s Sherlock, after a two-year hiatus. The series will pick up after the dramatic (and traumatic) events of The Reichenbach Fall, the last episode of the second series. The first episode of this series, The Empty Hearse (written by Mark Gatiss), will be based on the canon story (the Conan Doyle Novels), The Adventure of the Empty House; this adventure will mark Sherlock’s return to London, and most importantly, John Watson’s life.

MONTHS of speculation from fans will be cleared out today as this promising episode could finally reveal how Sherlock survived the fall and if John, as most of the fans have said in their headcanons, will punch Sherlock instead of just fainting like he did in the novels.

The BBC is adamant in their promotions and very purposeful in their choice of material. This time, they’ve put a crime-scene-esque ouline of Sherlock’s body outside St. Bart’s hospital (where he jumped off of the roof)

Hit right in the feels

So, tune in to BBC one at 9PM today for The EmptyHearse, and stock up on shock blankets. Will probably need those.

Also, I’ll include a bonus: for those who can’t watch the series in the UK, a stream is available here

BBC’s Sherlock has done it again! Today, the “feels-inducing” interactive trailer for series 3 has been released and it features exclusive clips from the series, and the photos that buzzfeed has shown. Note that (SPOILERS) the video also gives glimpses of how Sherlock survived the fall/ how he planned it out, and it WENT BY FAIRLY QUICKLY. So stand by and try not to miss it!

This weekend, two ‘behind-the-scenes’ photos from BBC’S Sherlock has been released. The first of the two photos feature Benedict Cumberbatch back in his Sherlock Holmes getup, even including what seems to be ‘the purple shirt of sex’, as the fandom’s dubbed it (not entirely sure ,but the color seems to be it).

The second photo is Martin Freeman back as John Watson, and it can be clearly seen that there are two cuts on John; one on his temple, and one just above his cheek. It seems like John’s been in a scuffle and it only serves to deepen the mystery behind the series’ third season!

NOT ONLY THAT, but the official blog of John Watson has been updated (AND MIGHT NOT BE SPOILER-FREE), and the blog’s comments section feature a new character, who can only be deduced as John’s girlfriend, Mary (Mary Morstan is John Watson’s canonical wife). If Sherlock’s deductions about placing “x”s after messages are right, then Mary’s comments might prove that she’s with John at this point. But I digress, and say that of course, I’m only theorizing. The blog’s content WILL cause floods of emotions in the fandom, no less, especially for the ones who are both in the Sherlock and Doctor Who fandoms.

The series will follow five original stories, and not purely borrowing from Doyle’s original material. However, the adventure begins the way it traditionally has; in the cobblestone roads of Victorian London, Dr. John Watson, having been invalidated from the war in Afghanistan, searches for a flat (apartment) to live in. Through that search, he meets Sherlock Holmes, and together they find a flat owned by a Ms. Hudson. Dr. Watson soon discovers that his new flatmate is a consulting detective and he is soon roped into the mysterious, underground, and dangerous side of London.

The new series will premiere tomorrow, November 18, at 9:00 P.M. , on Russia1.
